Both sides in the Gulf dispute are working hard to win over international public opinion and the backing of the US government.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. An insightful talk uncovering some of the myths of the world of lobbying. We are challenged to question whether 'perception is reality' and how and what makes governments act. The talk takes us back 400 years to the first formal use of lobbyists, and pushes us to face the complexity of the 'noise' in today's society. In looking at the work of lobbyists to create, and also go beyond, perceptions, what lessons can we take away for our various professions and our lives in using perception as a helpful and constructive tool?

She is a professor at UnitedBusiness Institutes in Brussels where her students commonly remark on her passion, candour and thoughtfulness in her teaching. She has also taught in Vietnam, Croatia and Serbia and various countries in Western Europe.
She is Executive Director to the European Centre for Public Affairs (the ECPA), a Brussels based think tank/platform for Public Affairs affairs excellence and best practice with a focus on training and skills development.

Interviewer Jeff Blankfort, host of "Takes on the World"
Grant F. Smith examines likely developments in Israel-US relations under Trump such as more secrecy, no daylight between the two countries, eliminate waiver problems for Israeli visitors; make no attempt to restart a 'peace process' while endorsing expansion of Jewish settlements. That he will ignore the section of Obama's MOU with Israel which will provide Israel with $38 billion in arms over the next decade that would prevent Israel from asking Congress for more money, suggesting that Pres. Trump will raise the annual figure to from $6 billion to $10 billion.
Domestically, he will make it more difficult for BDS campaigners as many states are already doing whether or not Sessions is confirmed as AG. He will make tax-exempt money transfers to Israel from Jewish charities more opaque even as they are expanding
He thinks that Trump is likely to overturn the Iran nuclear deal as well as recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital which will lock him in with the growing number of Christian evangelicals ignoring criticism from US allies.
He cites poll that indicates positions of Republicans toward aid to Israel significantly different than that of Democrats with Repubs supporting more aid and Democrats less.
In discussion of Israel's influence in states and cities, he mentions the role of Jewish CommunityRelations Councils within Jewish federations that actively lobby local and state politicians to take actions or pass bills on Israel's behalf and how major Jewish organizations augment the work of their counterparts in the federal government, such as the ADL which has become intertwined with the FBI and the American Jewish Congress, the Lobby's foreign policy arm with the State Dept.
He closes by recalling that not only was Nov. 22, the anniversary of JFK's assassination but that a year and a day before, Nov. 21, 1962, Attorney GeneralBobby Kennedy had directed the American Zionist Council, the mother ship of AIPAC, to register as a foreign agent. (For the next year the AZC's lawyers used one delay after another to prevent that happening. The events of the Nov. 22, 1963, would make sure that order did not have to be carried out.)

Washington had an estimated population of 672,228 as of July 2015. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's population to more than onemillion during the workweek. The Washington metropolitan area, of which the District is a part, has a population of over 6million, the seventh-largestmetropolitan statistical area in the country.

Four Seasons (EP)

Four Seasons is an EP by Kaddisfly, released on Sub City Records in 2006 as a preview of their upcoming record, Set Sail the Prairie. The EP contains one song from each of the four seasons on the full length record, in addition to a b-side entitled Games.

Union Station (Washington, D.C.)

Washington, D.C., Union Station is a major train station, transportation hub, and leisure destination in Washington, D.C. Opened in 1907, it is Amtrak's headquarters and the railroad's second-busiest station, with annual ridership of over 5 million. The station also serves MARC and VREcommuter rail services, the Washington Metro, and buses.

At the height of its traffic, during World War II, as many as 200,000 people passed through in a single day. In 1988, a headhouse wing was added and the original station renovated for use as a shopping mall. Today, Union Station is one of the busiest rail facilities and shopping destinations in the country, and is visited by over 40 million people a year.

Washington, D.C. (novel)

Washington, D. C. by Gore Vidal is the sixth in his Narratives of Empire series of historical novels (although the first one published, in 1967). It begins in 1937 and continues into the Cold War, tracing the families of Senator James Burden Day and influential newspaper publisher Blaise Sanford.

This book is the least historical and most novelistic of any of the seven books. The Golden Age, the seventh book in the series, takes place during nearly the same span of years with many of the same characters, and needed to be written around the events of Washington D.C.

Interviewer Jeff Blankfort, host of "Takes on the World"
Grant F. Smith examines likely developments in Israel-US relations under Trump such as more secrecy, no daylight between the two countries, eliminate waiver problems for Israeli visitors; make no attempt to restart a 'peace process' while endorsing expansion of Jewish settlements. That he will ignore the section of Obama's MOU with Israel which will provide Israel with $38 billion in arms over the next decade that would prevent Israel from asking Congress for more money, suggesting that Pres. Trump will raise the annual figure to from $6 billion to $10 billion.
Domestically, he will make it more difficult for BDS campaigners as many states are already doing whether or not Sessions is confirmed as AG. He will make tax-exempt money transfers to Israel from Jewish charities more opaque even as they are expanding
He thinks that Trump is likely to overturn the Iran nuclear deal as well as recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital which will lock him in with the growing number of Christian evangelicals ignoring criticism from US allies.
He cites poll that indicates positions of Republicans toward aid to Israel significantly different than that of Democrats with Repubs supporting more aid and Democrats less.
In discussion of Israel's influence in states and cities, he mentions the role of Jewish CommunityRelations Councils within Jewish federations that actively lobby local and state politicians to take actions or pass bills on Israel's behalf and how major Jewish organizations augment the work of their counterparts in the federal government, such as the ADL which has become intertwined with the FBI and the American Jewish Congress, the Lobby's foreign policy arm with the State Dept.
He closes by recalling that not only was Nov. 22, the anniversary of JFK's assassination but that a year and a day before, Nov. 21, 1962, Attorney GeneralBobby Kennedy had directed the American Zionist Council, the mother ship of AIPAC, to register as a foreign agent. (For the next year the AZC's lawyers used one delay after another to prevent that happening. The events of the Nov. 22, 1963, would make sure that order did not have to be carried out.)

Gulf diplomatic dispute: Both sides lobby hard in Washington

Gulf diplomatic dispute: Both sides lobby hard in Washington
Both sides in the Gulf dispute are working hard to win over international public opinion and the backing of the US government.
One way they are trying to do that is by pouring money into lobbying firms.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. An insightful talk uncovering some of the myths of the world of lobbying. We are challenged to question whether 'perception is reality' and how and what makes governments act. The talk takes us back 400 years to the first formal use of lobbyists, and pushes us to face the complexity of the 'noise' in today's society. In looking at the work of lobbyists to create, and also go beyond, perceptions, what lessons can we take away for our various professions and our lives in using perception as a helpful and constructive tool?

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
